Tn. Paint Pot for stolen Horses.

All the horses that are stolen in New York or its vicinity find their way to the hJTss market II the dealer is sharp enough to perceive that the horse offered to him is stolen he buys him very cheap. Then he uses all his ingenuity to change his appearance Painting is frequently resOrted Co. If the horse has any white markings they are deftly painted over; II not, and his color is dark, few white spots are painted on. So skillfuiiy is this done that even dealers are deceived AS soon as a case of horse stealing is reported to the police detective is usually sent to the market It is the exception for him, however, to recover the horse. The owner himself would not recognize his animal after the paint pot had been used A detective of the Fifty ninth street po- lice station informed the reporter that he knew If an instance in which a livery man bought his own horse from a dealer at the market without knowing lt. Although many arrests have been made in such cases the traffic con- tinues. Capt Knlilea had a detective in the market for six weeks at one time before he could trace a horse that had been stolen from Q stable in West Forty seventh street. Some of the dealers have stables elsewhere in the city. When the stolen horse is of such color that he can not he painted he is removed to one of these private stables until the affair blows over and he can safely be brought out and sOld-New York World.

The Mnr in snmatrn.

The hOstil!ties that have been going on more or less in the northern part of Su- mG.ra for the last thirteen years between the Dutch and the Achinese are no nearer than ever Go a conclusion. Acheen is the principal native sovereignty on the island, and has kept its independence against Flu rOpean efforts to subjugate 1t for nearly four centuries. Through great part of the time commercial treaties have been maintained with the sultan of Acheen by European occupants of the island, but the pira"ies indulged in by his people and his alleged violation of faith have of late greatly exHsperated the Dutch An expe- dition sent from the Netherlands in los3 tl crush the Achinese was defeated with much loss. Since then the war has been prosecuted with varying success. Of late the natives have begun to smuggle in rifles and even artillery, so that they have put the coast fort at Segi under seize. The Dutch troops also suffer severely from dis ease. Altogether Sumatra has cost the Netherlands much in money and men, with a prospect now of costing much more. New Orleans Times-Democrat.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA has run to town lots. Her people have gone mad with and have town lots on the brain They have many, but they yesrn for more, even ss the chIld yesrns for Cas- toris. The orange crop may as it has in the past year. deteriorate 900 car loads; their olive orchards blight and the grape crop fail, but they must have town lots. The whole country has been divided and sub-dIvided till there is town lot for every man in the state. Even the des- ert sands when lined of into lots, bring fabulous figures. Judicious advertising, a big dinner and brass band and the fool people lose their wits and go daft ID their esgerness to purchase 6 town lot. Long before the suc.ioneer mounts his block they are busy bidding and buying one another out of line, One gsloot the other day, bought out the fellow that stood in the line ahead oi him for sl2O0-snd still he was not hap py till he had spent three times the sum on sn almost worthless town lot. After a while there will be sick crowd and town lots will be for sale chesp.

Circulation of Pari. Daily Papers.

With the exception of Le Petit Journal, no Paris daily has what would be re garded in the United States us an enOr- mous circulation. The Figaro prints about 60,O00 copies and the Temps about i5, 600, while Le Matin. which comes nearer ar American daily through its newsy char acter than any other paper, gains ground continually. There are daily journals pub lished in Paris which do not circulate to the extent of 1000 copies, but are kept alive by politicians that require a mouth piece or by financial enterprises needing a trumpet The Petit Journal, however, makes up for the small tirage of many of its contemporaries. Upward of 900, GOO copies arc printed daily, and it Is computed that it is read by one sixth of the pOpula- ton of France. The profits of the paper lost year exceeded 4. 4.OOO, OO0f Nor is The Figaro a particularly unprofitable sheet. Its shares were issued originally at 60f apiece. and they noys command Ii, 900 Everybody connected with these two papers has grown wealthy.-New York Times.

Winter RaiIroadin~ in Dakota.

Railroads are not seriously incOnveni- enccd by snow in this part of the country, for they know how to take care of it. Up in Dakota, where it drifts and banks up on the track, is where the delays occur. l remember ap engine that was covered en- tirely for eleven days. We kept a fire going in the furnace all the time, and by that way finally got out of the snow. One of the dangers that have to De watched during such weather as the present is the snapping of rails. But, considering the number of steel rails in use, those that are broken by the cold are exceedingly few, and the break is so small-generally a few inches-that the cars pass over it without being derailed- I remember of break where a three foot piece of rail was broken of and fell to one side. A train passed over the ties and continued on without interruption. Then, again, there was a long train of empty freight cars that was derailed, and, as the ground was
 fiat and hard, were pulled about POO yards away from the track before stop ping. There was great trouble experi- enced in getting them back to the track GlObe-DemOcrat

Nils. Rose Cleveland at Home.

Miss Cleveland is now resuming her old habits in her old home and taking up her old books and studies, and old life gener- ally. She Is very regular in her habits. She breakfasts at g, goes into her library at Q, and spends the morning there. At 1 o'clock she dimes, preferring while in her country home to have midday dinner. The afternoon she spends in driving or walking, visiting with her friends and guests. She is utterly defiant of wind and weather, driving in the rain rather than not at all, and her solitary figure at al! seasons mounting the hills, crossing the meadows and disappearing of in the woods, has been long familiar to the look ers-Out-of windows along the village street or in the more scattered farm houses. Her Sisits are mostly to those whom she can serve in some way. Her mother was very thoughtful for the poor, and in this re- spect her daughter initiates her. .-Iaura C. Holloway in Brooklyn Magazine.

PHENIx with its half realized hopes and present prosperity, and Florence with her magnificent possibilities would to-day be where they were ten years ago, but for the enterprise and go ahead edness of their citizens. While the peo- pie of Tucson stay indoors and Micsvber like, wait for something to turn up, the people of Florence and PhenIx are abroad and doing. Magnificent enter prises that promise them 6 world Of riches iu return for thelr lsbOrs, Ore be- ing actively pushed forward and deser; lands that once supported their tens Of thousands are again to be brought un- der the ditch land the pioS. Why is 1t that our people cannot be induced to do likewise with the great plains conti- guous to Tucson7 There can be no question of water. the Santa Cruz itself carries sufficient to irrigste @ million acres if it be properly utalIzed. The Davidson ditch on the north Al- though put 8 small affair. is a move ID the right direction. It's projectors how ever, were threatened with failure for lack of money to complete the work so we'll begun, and but for the enterprise of few new corners to the country who sd- vsnoed the requisite amount, work oL 1t would have been abandoned long ago We may talk as VIC please about reduc- tiop vorks or contemplated msnufsc. turies but there Is more money and more prosperity a thousand fold, iD F big water jItch than all other coRcocted schemes combined. But talking wil not do the work. Money. muscle, and brains such as are being used by the citizens of our sister towns, must be used if we would accomplish the end that will give us permanent prosperity. The individual or corporation that will turn the waste waters of the Santa Cruz on the rich but now dry and barren plains, can make millions for themselves and build up 8 community as thriving and prosperous as any on the Pacific Coast. If the moneyed men of Tucson cannot shape themselves for great en- terprises they can at least. put them in such shape that outside capital vii be glad to make the investment. It will require DO great outlay of money to put the project in feasible shape for capital to take bold of it, and there IS no busi- ness man in the place that will not gladly contribute to that end.

THE Flagstaff Champion puts the In dian situation squsrely before iis read CTS. The people of Arizona, 1t potently says, have shown SO much Tor besranoe towards the Indians on the San Carlos reservation thst that fac alone should clsim for their grievances the serious consideration of the govern ment. Since the reservation was ests5-
 ished there has not been single Indian killed or even molested. while on their own domain, by American settlers, nor hss their property been purloiut d. They have been protected, fed and clothed on large area of land that IS one of the garden spots of the south western country. How have they re- psid this kInd and careful treatment by the federal authorities? By ssllyine forth from the reservation segregated entirely for their use, whenever they teIt ike it, to commit murder and r.piue. to shoot down defenseiees vom- en and children and then when their lust for blood was sstisted, return to ,heir sanctuary and seek its protection from the just vengeance of the friends O, those they have slaughtered and rob bed. This has not happened once, bIi tune after time. and now it has occurred again without the slightest provocation from white settlers. It began with row smong themselves and when the an thorities in charge of the reservation st' tempted to repress it a band of them sslIied forth murdering white seitlerF whenever they came upon them. This is & plain statement of facts which esD- not be truthfully contrsdicted.
